The 213-km-long expressway, built at a cost of around Rs 12,000 crore, is expected to significantly cut travel time between Delhi and Dehradun to about 2.5 hours, while the journey to Haridwar may be reduced to nearly 2 hours.

To ensure smooth traffic flow during the opening phase, police have implemented several diversions across key routes leading to Dehradun. Commuters have been advised to follow these alternate routes to avoid congestion and delays.
